END

Dear Sirs,

I shall deem it a very great favour if

you will be good enough to make me an advance of £100.

It is probably contrary to the rules governing

pensions to make such advances, but I trust you will

be able to "stretch a point" in my case, as the situation

is serious for me; when I purchased my house ( and 521

acres of land) some time ago, I had not sufficient capital

and had to borrow from the Bank, giving my property as

security.

I now owe the Bank £160. and if the bill

is not met when it becomes due on 7th March next, my

property will be seized by the bank, probably sold by

public auction, and my family and I will be rendered

homeless.

If you, Sirs, can see your way to make the

advance you can make suitable arrangement with regard

to the deductions from my pension until the loan is paid up.

I am, Sirs,

Respectfully yours,

THE CROWN AGENTS FOR THE COLONIES

WH

(Sgd) M.Earner.
